Got an offer from Guidehouse, in the defense sector, I have 1 year of experience with the client they are hiring for, an active clearance (meaning no bench time), and big 4 experience. They are offering me 2k more than what a college hire makes at the firm. I’m just wondering if I have any room to negotiate?

You always have room to negotiate. Just go in with what you think you should make based on your experience and market research and let them talk you down.

Thank you! Will do :)

You should make an effort to negotiate. As long as you're putting forward a serious counteroffer it should be fine. You may get part of it. Companies generally don't rescind offers if you negotiate in good faith, that usually happens if someone comes off as unserious.

Thank you for the advice!

With clearance at the client they want to hire for, you have leverage. Don’t be afraid to ask for more. They want you more than you know

I asked and they told me there’s a performance based bonus. So they could not budge. It’s crazy because they need people for this project

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
